In the last year of Joe Biden's presidency, some members of his Cabinet lacked confidence the president could be relied on to respond to a crisis in the middle of the night, CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson write in their new book, "Original Sin." CNN on Wednesday first reported that revelation from the book, which also describes how Biden's inner circle shielded him from several Cabinet members "for months" at a time in 2023 and 2024.
Joe Biden appeared on a TV show recently (I don't watch TV), but from what I read, he thinks he would have been beaten Dotard Trumpf last year if he wasn't eased out for the younger Kamala Harris. Biden pointed to the winning 2020 numbers as his reasoning, but not on the losing 2024 numbers. Again, the status quo leader won't admit that from 2020 to 2024 the Democrats lost 6,265,888 votes because they supported the unpopular Israeli onslaught on Gaza that took place every single day of 2024.
For the younger folks, Hubert Humphrey's 1968 Democratic ticket also lost millions of voters they had in 1964 because of their support for the unpopular Saigon regime, as well as sending our boys to fight and die in Vietnam.
Like at the 1968 DNC convention in Chicago, antiwar Democrats (and Arab-Americans) were also shunned at the 2024 DNC convention in the same city. However in 1976, antiwar activist and former Marine Ron Kovic spoke at the DNC Convention in Madison Square Garden, the year Jimmy Carter became President.
